But being up 2-0, I can't complain!

GO HAWKS!

It was actually a pretty wicked wrister that Eager put right past the D-man's foot, so I doubt Leighton got much of a look at it. Went past his ear, Eager has a better shot than people think.

Leighton on Eager's goal:

"He used the D as a screen and made a good shot," Leighton said. "I didn't see him release the puck. I saw it when it went through my D-man. I'm not saying he's an Alex Ovechkin, but that's how [the Caps captain] scored a lot of his goals -- he drags it and then uses the D as a screen."
